The subject of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) covers the use of computers and other related technologies such as digital cameras, video camcorders, audio playback and recording devices. At Brookfields these technologies are used throughout the school and play an invaluable part in the education of all the children.

The majority of classes have a Smartboard that allow all pupils to access lessons via resources shown on an interactive computer screen. ICT is used in the majority of subjects to engage and motivate pupils and allow them access to a wide range of environments.

ICT as a separate subject is taught in the secondary school where pupils can use our fully equipped ICT suite which has 12 computers. Many of the pupils in KS4 follow an Entry Level Course and will complete tasks in using word processors and spreadsheet programs.

To ensure that all pupils have equal access to ICT, adapted versions of keyboards and pointing devices are available. For those pupils for whom these input methods are inappropriate, the school uses simple switches to enable access to the computer and control onscreen actions when using sensory software programs.
